An LTM Specialist is troubleshooting an issue with an application configured on an LTM device. The application works properly when accessed directly via the servers; however, it does not work when accessed via the LTM device. The virtual server, 192.168.1.211:443, is configured to SNAT using the address 192.168.1.144 and references a pool with the member 192.168.10.80:443. The virtual server has no Client or Server SSL profiles associated.
Which configuration change will allow the application to function through the virtual server?
A failover event is recorded in the log messages:

Every monitor has the same Send String, Recv String, and an Alias of *:*. The LTM Specialist simplifies the configuration to minimize the number of monitors.
How many unique monitors remain?
In preparation for a maintenance task, an LTM Specialist performs a "Force to Standby" on LTM device Unit 1. LTM device Unit 2 becomes active as expected. The maintenance task requires the reboot of Unit 1. Shortly after the reboot is complete, the LTM Specialist discovers that Unit 1 has become active and Unit 2 has returned to standby.
What would cause this behavior?
A web application requires the client to provide the destination server and service identification.
Which HTTP header will supply this information?

Refer to the exhibit.
An LTM Specialist is troubleshooting an HTTP monitor that is marking a pool member as down. Connecting to the pool member directly through a browser shows the application is up and functioning correctly.
How should the send string be modified to correct this issue?

Refer to the exhibit.
An LTM Specialist is troubleshooting an issue with a new virtual server. When connecting through the virtual server, clients receive the message "The connection was reset" in the browser. Connections directly to the pool member show the application is functioning correctly.

Based on the output of the tmsh interface show command, what is the issue?
An LTM Specialist wants to allow access to the Always On Management (AOM) from the network.
Which two methods should the LTM Specialist use to configure the AOM interface? (Choose two.)
An LTM Specialist configures two LTM devices in a high-availability pair with trusts established and device groups configured properly using network failover. After several months, the LTM Specialist notices that changes made to one LTM device do NOT cause the synchronization status to update to "changes pending," and this device does NOT synchronize with the device group.
Which two steps should the LTM Specialist take to identify the issue? (Choose two.)
An LTM device is load balancing telnet and ssh applications in a client/server environment experiencing significant packet delay.
Which setting in the TCP profile should reduce the amount of packet delay?

An active/standby pair of LTM devices deployed with network failover are working as desired. After external personnel perform maintenance on the network, the LTM devices are active/active rather than active/standby. No changes were made on the LTM devices during the network maintenance.
Which two actions would help determine the cause of the malfunction? (Choose two.)
An LTM Specialist uploaded new releases .iso and .md5 files titled "BIGIP-FILENAME" via the GUI.
Which commands are run via the command line from the root directory to verify the integrity of the new .iso file?
A stand-alone LTM device is to be paired with a second LTM device to create an active/standby pair. The current stand-alone LTM device is in production and has several VLANs with floating IP addresses configured. The appropriate device service clustering (DSC) configurations are in place on both LTM devices.
Which two non-specific DSC settings should the LTM Specialist configure on the second LTM device to ensure no errors are reported when attempting to synchronize for the first time? (Choose two.)
There is a fault with an LTM device load balanced trading application that resides on directly connected VLAN vlan-301. The application virtual server is 10.0.0.1:80 with trading application backend servers on subnet 192.168.0.0/25. The LTM Specialist wants to save a packet capture with complete payload for external analysis.
Which command should the LTM Specialist execute on the LTM device command line interface?

Users report that a web application works incorrectly. Sometimes contextual data displayed on the web pages is accurate; other times it is inaccurate.
The LTM administrator looks at the connection table with a filter on one of the client IP addresses currently connected using the command "tmsh show sys connection cs-client-addr 10.0.20.1"
with the following results:
